I am running into an error using boto3

Question

I am using the following script to get the list of ec2 instances but running into [1]. I am able to use the same creds with session.get_available_regions(service) and session.client('sts') but it doesn't work with session.resource('ec2', region_name=region). I've verified the clock on the machine and it is synced. I would appreciate any help!

```
session = boto3.Session(
        aws_access_key_id=key,
        aws_secret_access_key=secret,
)
ec2_instance = session.resource('ec2', region_name=region)
for instance in ec2_instance.instances.all():
        print(instance)
```

[1]

Accepted Answer

From the below error, it indicates your access key/secret access key/region is invalid.   Kindly validate this via CLI.  You may need regenerate new access key/secret access key.
